Pirates: A History

Since the begining of the silver screen, pirates have been staring characters in many films. But like many other thing in the movies, pirates have been exagerated. Maybe the most "real" pirate from a movie is Captain Jack Sparrow. Like Sparrow, pirates fancied drinking, being in charge, and trying to impress. Very few Pirates actualy burried their loot. By definition a pirate is an individual that steals from other ships and then uses a ship to get away. The pirate that falls most into the stereotypical description of a pirate is probably Blackbeard. Blackbeard was killed in North Carolina after "visiting" Charleston, S.C.
